Jay Foxing Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Hello all, I would just like to use this site to say congratulations to Darrel (foxing2night) on winning the factory sporter class and the smallest group in class at the Diggle ranges today. This is a UK Benchrest Association (www.ukbra.co.uk) run competition, any one interested in the next comp should get in touch. Would be nice to have a few more like minded competitors to shoot against. Well done Darrel, Jay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxing2night Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 thanks gents, and thank you jay for the post calibre used was 6mm ppc in a sako 75!! load was 26.6 grains of vit 130, berger 68 mef bullet!! sadly no longer available conditions were bloody windy, seems to be the norm at the diggle!!!! the warm up target was not to bad, i started with a .475, a typical 4in one hole and one out????? first comp card was a .601, ????? oh dear me what a mess second comp card was a .616, ????? that which promotes growth and vigour what a cock up ??? third comp card was a .271, !!! now we are cooking fourth comp card was a .351 !!! yes back in the game fith comp card was a .377, not to bad at all ?????? I realy did have to sit back and think about the wind, as it killed me on the first two targets???, the wind up there is something else, it realy is!!!. I would like to thank all the lads up there for making us wellcome!!!, and vince and his crew who put a lot of work into making the comp run smoothly , I did try and enroll as many wouldbe varminters as i could???, and hope fully we will see them on our site???? thanks to you all for your reply,s !!! all the best foxing2night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers.Onehole. cheers one hole, I sent an e-mail to walt berger asking why they had stopped makeing the 68g mef bullets and they replyed that there was not much call for them????? allways the bloody same when i fined a bullet that shoots like a house on fire out of my gun?? All i can think of is that the 68g match berger bullets are there same as the mef,s????? time will tell!!!! all the best from wales f2n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
